I keep myself busy and also do house chores though many get surprised when I tell them I wash dishes and cook. I do a lot at home and that means exhausting my hands. This leads to the dreaded cuticles which make hands look sad because your nails look bad. Luckily, I got to try the OPI Pro Spa Nail Cuticle Oil to go and that helped me out.

The packaging of the OPI Pro Spa range is really fresh and clean which I like because it does give of a Spa like feeling. The packaging is sturdy and easy to use with great finishing. I feel good using products that look good, lets be honest, its an added bonus. The size is very travel friendly and you can carry it with you at all times. The tube is made specially to avoid leakage so that is definitely getting brownie points!

When you wash your hands often or do a lot of hand oriented work and tire them out, and also due to many other reasons, your nails get dehydrated and your cuticles dry out which is irritable and doesn't help in appearance either.

As per brand: "When you are on the go, this ultra-nourishing formula helps protect, replenish and strengthen".

I have been using this cuticle oil for over two weeks. I apply it at night and sometimes even during the day. It has definitely helped. It keeps my cuticles and skin around the nails soft and when I apply it I usually rub the left over on my hands, so keeps hands nourished too. The oil absorbs quickly and is not greasy or sticky. It is also very lightweight and easy to apply. My nails have transformed. The skin as well as the nails feel and look healthier, growth has also improved and nails are less brittle.

- Cupuaçu: Improves the appearance prematurely aging and thinning skin while being a superior moisturizer with great water absorption. It offers high levels of essential fatty acids, which with its rich phytosterols, help the appearance of your skin's elasticity and overall appearance of your skin.

The OPI Pro Spa Nail Cuticle Oil to go retails at PKR.1,200/- and available at Amethyst by Roohi

Hello beauties, I am back with another skincare review. I have been more inclined towards skin care for months now though I do love makeup too. Recently I was testing the Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash and expected it to be . . . well read on and I will tell you the whole story.

First let me update you on some facts.The Tri-Enzyme range has been renamed Dynamic Resurfacing. This product was previously called Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash. Now that we know that, let's move on.

The packaging of their toners and face washes are very similar and basic. I got the 50ml bottle which is a PR sample but this is available in 200ml. When I read "resurfacing" I was seriously expecting something gritty, scrub like. Instead, the formula turned out to be soft and milky. I wondered, "what is this gonna do? Its so gentle looking". However, I put it to test! Its been two weeks only and it has improved and maintained my skin texture as well as reduced dullness.

This is a sneaky little thing! Impressed me a lot. The formula is very gentle on the skin as well as light weight. Smells fresh and feels so good on your skin. This is a great anti aging product as it encourages the skin's natural cell renewal cycle, while smoothing and refining as well as gently exfoliating away dead skin cells. That also, as I mentioned earlier, reduces dullness and results in a healthy, glowing complexion. It is also gentle enough to use every day, morning and night.

The KEY is the Revolutionary Patented Tri-Enzyme technology acts as the catalyst in this innovative formulation for safe and effective resurfacing within the skin’s upper layers. Galactoarabinan, a Polysaccharide from the Larch Tree, enhances the non-abrasive exfoliation process, whilst Brazilian Babassu Oil, rich in fatty acids, replenishes moisture levels.

Other two great ingredients are Moringa and White Truffle Poria Cocos. Moringa acts as an anti-oxidant and protects skin against environmental damage. White Truffle Poria Cocos helps to soothe and support the microflora of the skin.

So far the experience is refreshing and I will continue using this (or save it for my future travels as its an ideal size!). The 200ml product of ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash retails at pkr.6,029. Sounds like a lot but trust me, it will last you forever! It is available at Amethyst by Roohias well as Just4girl.pk

Entice Cosmetics is a Pakistani Makeup and Beauty brand that recently launched. They sent me a PR package so I made a video on all of the things. Watch the video. The list of products with prices and Entice Cosmetics Facebook Link is also given below for you guys <3

Some months ago I had gotten acrylic nails and had a blast, well kind of, till they were removed. My nails were left damaged, extremely thinned out, really short; you could see my finger tips clearly without the nails. My fingers tips were painful and numb for weeks. Now let me clarify that this only happened with me because the person who removed them was highly unprofessional and in some sort of a hurry so didn't care about my pain or the damage being done. Its not like that always so PLEASE choose your nail professional carefully.

That being said, my nails were extremely sensitive and required care. I was careful with them for a couple of month and didn't even apply nail color. They would break easily and were growing out crooked. I was heart broken. A couple of weeks ago I started taking biotin along with using OPI Infinite Shine Strengthening Primer before applying nail color. In just a few weeks I could see and feel the difference in my nail appearance which made me very happy.

OPI Infinite Shine Strengthening Primer is actually part one of a three step OPI Infinite Shine set//series but you can use this as a base coat with any nail color brand. The OPI Infinite Shine Strengthening Primer comes in a window boxed packaging, quite simple yet professional looking. I do love the purple shade, mainly because it reminds me of the amethyst stone. The formula is easy to work with and can even be used alone without any color coat. I have done that as well, it adds a nice healthy shine to your nails.

So basically, OPI Infinite Shine Strengthening Primer is a nail strengthening treatment that works like a base coat and helps to make nails feel stronger as well as protect nails against breaking. It is enriched with nutrients which deal with common nail concerns. The formula is also infused with antioxidant-rich lotus flower oil and bamboo extract which conditions, hydrates, and moisturizes nails. It gives a gel like effect (without even using a curing lamp!) for up to at least 7 to 11 days.

So far I have never been disappointed by OPI and this product is also part of that satisfying experience. If you have troublesome nails you should get this for sure. The OPI Infinite Shine Strengthening Primer retails at Pkr.2300 and you can buy online fromAmethyst by Roohi Spa.

A lot of effort goes into taking care of colored hair, especially if they are as crazy colorful as mine. Hair color management is less tedious if you have the right products. The main thing you require is the right kind of shampoo and conditioner that does not strip your hair off color and also takes care of it. I have used many brands but the recent one will stick around longer because my experience was much better than with the others. Keratin Complex Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner are my go to these days.

When I went for myKeratin Complex Personalized Blow out I was recommended this shampoo and conditioner so I instantly got the travel duo set so I can try it first before investing in the bigger bottles. I am really glad this brand offered this as many dont.

The shampoo and conditioner are both enriched with Keratin for extra hair care and nourishment. These products are recommended for people who have gotten the keratin smoothening or any other keratin treatment done as well as also supports color treated hair. TIP: it is always good to use the same brands for followup hair care as the treatment you got done.

The KERATIN Complex Color Care Shampoo is very lightweight and mild. It doesn't irritate the scalp, neither does it strip off color like most shampoos even though it contains sulfate which people avoid if they have colored hair. This is a specially designed formula so even with the sulfate it does it's job well. it, however doesn't contain chlorides. The shampoo cleanses really well without drying your scalp or hair. Good for all hair types, including dry, damaged, color-treated and keratin-treated hair. Even though my hair have been color treated multiple times and I have almost zero pigments left the shampoo really helps in giving it a healthier look. The formula contains three-protein blend which conditions while minimizing frizz and fly aways for healthy looking smoothness and shine. the shampoo also helps maintain the results of Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments.

The KERATIN Complex Color Care Conditioner is good but I do prefer the shampoo a little more and the ONLY reason is that this conditioner is seriously potent so if I use just a tiny bit more my hair gets over conditioned. Sometimes a lot of good is not good either, lols. I have tried the reverse washing technique which works with heavier conditioners. You basically apply conditioner first and follow it up with shampoo. The formula contains Keratin, wheat and soy proteins which help retain moisture and result in healthier-looking hair. Pro vitamin B5 aids in conditioning and extra smoothening and shine. So yes I do like the conditioner but in very little quantity.

The Travel duo, 89ml each cost pkr.1800 and you can purchase them from Amethyst by Roohi spa online HERE. You can also purchase the bigger bottles which are approx 400ml for pkr2300.

DISCLAIMER: All my reviews are based on my personal experience. What may suit me, may not suit you but that is very normal. Do try out sample and travel kits if you are unsure.

I have really tiny lashes, almost non existent so I rarely get impressed by mascaras. Most just don't deliver so I try to take some solace in fake lashes though for me they are a pain to use every time. There are few mascaras that do deliver somewhat satisfactory results but then I recently came acrossPeterThomasRoth Lashes To Die For Mascara which a lot of people were raving about. I put it to the test, trust me my lashes are the REAL test. Do I like it?

I have mostly used PeterThomasRoth skin care products which, to be honest, are pretty good. You can read my reviews HERE. This is the first time I am trying their makeup product so wondered if it will be good enough.

The packaging is very simple and basic. Black mascara tube with the similar box type font with info, very clean. What actually intrigued me was the wand. The bristles were short and spaced out so I just stared at them, wondering what they gonna do, how they gonna help? Hmmm. It has a slim tapered tip which is supposed to help with those really small, hard to reach lashes in the corner. the short bristles (which they also called staggered bristles) are spaced out in a way to deliver separated lashes in order to avoid clumping, while adding length and volume. Well we want that for sure, yes?

The formula is thick but creamy and extremely jet black in color. Definitely conditioning, my lashes do seem to be looking better. It does not lengthen and add volume in a "dramatic" party wear way but does make a difference by naturally making the lashes more obvious rather than almost invisible (like my sad lashes). The mascara is formulated with Macadamia Nut Oil as well as Pro Vitamin B5 which Moisturizes and conditions lashes along with Bamboo Extract which results in the glossy, shiny lashes. Ingredients are for sure impressive.

The best part, specially for those who care and are extremely particular, the formula is free of:
